Editorial reviews

Following the runaway success of her previous cookbooks and TV series, 'domestic goddess' Nigella Lawson offers this volume to accompany her latest TV fare. With sections such as 'All-Day Breakfast', 'Comfort Food', and 'Rainy Days', it is, like the TV programmes, about indulgence, a guide to pigging out glamorously, with maximum flavour, minimum hassle and guilt. Lawson speaks for the attitudes and aspirations of an era; her enthusiatic asides, anticipatory grins and almost-perfect looks are a major part of the appeal. At first glance this might just seem an inspirational volume - tasty dishes on all levels - but closer inspection reveals that, although it is no step-by-step bible, the recipes are clear and easy to follow, the photos precise enough to be useful. Read, drool and tuck in. (Kirkus UK)
